the only tranny that will bolt up to a nissan engine is a nissan tranny... period. unless you have an adapter made. but that defeats the purpose of trying to save money. if its a manual you're looking for get the 80's they are the same up until 95 IIRC. the autos IDK anything about (all autos are crap in my book)

its for impaling gringos that take to long crossing the road...

try astroglide or K-Y, you and your "engine" will enjoy it more

ac (4x4parts.com) sells a long a-arm kit for the pathy, but for that price you could do a SAS 2x, plus to you have to run wheel spacers in the rear so the track width is the same, and you have to get the fiberglass wide fender kit for it to make it somewhat street legal. you only gain about 4" of travel (11" total)

where are you buying your parts? are you greasing them? cv axles should take at least 100k+ miles unless the boots are torn. and the nissan ball joints usually last at least that, unless you dont grease them or drive like Ivan Stuart off road. my current pathy had 340k miles on it when i got it, and as far as i could tell it was all original nissan parts... p.s. your alignment guy is a retard and/or lazy

and dont go wheeling by yourself... the buddy system w/ a tow strap will get you out of almost any situation..

did any of the vehicles air down their tires? the guys that snow wheel around her run in way deeper snow and rarely get stuck, they all run bead locks and air down to around 5 psi...

hows the spring rate on the TJ coils?

are the 12" long enough for the front? i have (4) 13" trailmasters im planning on using on mine. for some reason they dont look long enough either.

anybody with skillz enough to fab a bumper should be able to make one to fit your rig without "detailed plans". i have an Autocad drawing of my bumper but its not detailed out, i just made a 3d model of it and printed it out full size to make a template for the top, the rest i laid out w/o the drawing. i can email it to you if you want... you will have to come up with something stronger than the stock mounts, they are worthless. i rear ended a 2 ton flat bed with my bumper and the stock mounts crumbled like foil. i replaced them with 3/8" plate welded to the frame. the bumper attaches to the new mounts with (3) 1/2" bolts on each side. i would recommend (4) on each side or go with grade 8. i sheared the grade 5 bolts off when i hit a burm doing about 20 mph and came to a dead stop.

Steeeeevo, are those Bilstein shocks? and whats the travel on them?

i highly doubt his transfer case broke, most likely his differential housing or the cover.

taking so long.... ? you're moving at light speed compared to most businesses...

they make bushing ends with a threaded stud.... im sure Steeevo can get something similar

thats what i was thinking, but in this case it would be opposite.

you wont warp anything if you tack everything up then weld in short beads alternating sides so you dont generate too much heat in one spot.

theres no need for a JJ on a panhard bar, they dont twist.... a poly bushing will work fine for a panhard

did you try reversing the drill? it will only make the needle move if turned in the correct rotation, i believe counter clockwise as viewed from the rear for the cluster, a drill normally runs clockwise.

how much for a custom length set for those wanting to "long arm" the rear ?

interested - yes like idea - yes think they will sell - yes pay someone to do what i can do myself - no keep up the good ideas, maybe some day the pathfinders will catch up to the rest of the bolt-on 4x4 community (like heeps and toys)

bought damn time!

who is going to check to see if they're DOT approved? the SS brake lines i have been running in my Z for the last 15 years are not DOT approved. there are a ton of non DOT aftermarket parts out there. it doesn't mean they're not safe for a DD, it just means that they have not been through the Governments over taxation process yet. i say go for the links for any vehicle. its better than buying (8) sets of bushings from AC @ ~$50/set.

why wouldnt they be "street legal" ? may i suggest 2"x.250 DOM or 2x2x.250 square tube for the bottom links, they will hold up better on the rocks.

NIB, i bought these thinking they would fit my KEL-TEC but they dont.... my loss is your gain. $20 obo FYI im posting this here cuz theres no "general crap for sale" section under classifieds

you would be better off with a 4.3/nv3500/d241 combo for light wheelin, but if your gonna do any serious crawling or mudding go with a 5.7 or 4.3/nv4500/205 with the 3:1 kit in it.
